‘23 GA LB Grant Godfrey (Kensucky commit)

I think Jefferson is as close to a must get right now if you subscribe to that line of thinking.

It's not close really. This former 2 star is a must get. Equally as important as the 5 star mizzour Edge rushers imo

We need to land at least two of Telander, Jalen Smith and Godfrey. Seems like we are in pretty good spots for all three though.

Hopefully we land all 3 plus Justin Jefferson. Maybe somehow land Dakaari Nelson too. I think he would be a great hybrid player in Banks’s defense

I would say the guy with 4 years is more important but that's just me personally. Haven't watched Jefferson much yet

Check him out. He's a damn heat seeking missile.

we need all of it. So it's splitting hair really lol

Watched this guy and something I noticed is mostly all his 'tackles' in his highlights the player doesn't go down

The athleticism is there, but he seems very weak physically and he never delivers any pop when he tackles. Maybe he'll be much improved his senior year. Right now he looks like an FCS level player to me.

Lol what are y’all watching?

Lol what are y’all watching?

Looks like everyone he tackled went down to me.
See for yourselves:

Feel like he needs to play lower. Seems like he's making his tackles higher on the chest area and needs more mass/strength to take on blockers.

Yeah he should resend all of his D1 offers from qualified coaches who have studied his film and do it for a living lol

You do realize that he would get the proper strength and conditioning here right?

If I was recruiting him, it would be on offense. He tackles with his hands and arms. I seldom saw him lower his shoulder and drive a runner backwards. He is skilled in getting to the ball, but he made very few solo hits which took the runner down. Just my observations.

Didn't say he wasn't D1 or that I didn't want him. Just made an observation. Some were complaining about his tackling and I gave my opinion on what I thought may help.

Yes. Thats my point. Like I said above, I didn't say I didn't like him or want him.

 

[T2P_Priceless]

For all of you concerned about his tackling, that’s the easiest thing to coach and fix

 

[VolByLaw]

According to the VQ podcast, he is down the board.

I agree. I don’t see any explosion when he hits/tackles. Tackling can be worked on but it’s the lack of explosion/impact that would be my concern. I can see why he’s lower on the board at this point.
